All Around Camps
If you are searching for variety, this is the place to be. These camps fall into two categories: more choices than you can throw a stick at or just, plain, well-rounded rowdy camps with a little of everything.
San Antonio Academy: What do you want? They’ve got it. The later you are after Spring Break, the more you need to make sure you’ve checked the closed class list. These camps fill up fast!
Jewish Community Center: Very loud. Very active. Very fun. And swim lessons everyday of the week.
YMCA: 12 different sites and field trips. Yay.

Summer at the Heights: Wins the award for best ewwwwww-factor with its advanced extreme dissection camp.
